BOYSTOWN BANK BANDIT: "New" Bank Robber Hits Familiar Target

UPDATE 12:15AM MARCH 17: The FBI has updated their description of the offender. They now describe him as a male Hispanic in his late 20's to early 30's, 5'9" to 6' tall with a slim build and facial hair.

--------------

That poor little TCF Bank inside of the Boystown Jewel-Osco, 3531 N. Broadway, was robbed again this morning.

A bank teller called 911 at 9:50 this morning to report the robbery by a male offender who implied that he had a weapon. The alleged offender is shown here in this image provided by the FBI.

Initial indications are that the robber fled northbound on Broadway after receiving $320 to $340 in twenty dollar bills.

The teller described the offender as a light-complected Hispanic man wearing a gray hoodie with a blue t-shirt underneath. He said the offender was probably in his early 30's and an officer who saw surveillance images estimated the robber to be about 6'1" tall, 155 to 160 pounds, with a "mustache/goatee/beard combo."

As of 2:30 this afternoon, though, the FBI is listing the offender as a white male, 5'8" to 5'9" tall.

CPD has documented the incident in record #HX186902.

In Nearby Lincoln Park…

The alleged offender in the photo is black. So three different descriptions?
